Josh Darnell Named November ATC Student of the Month

Calloway County High School senior Josh Darnell has been named the Area Technology Center November Student of the Month by the Murray Rotary Club.

Darnell's trade at ATC is in automotive technology, where as a junior he passed the ASE Student Automotive Maintenance and Light Repair industry certification. As a senior, Darnell qualified for a work cooperative and works four hours each day at Ed's Wheel Alignment in Murray, where he is receiving high marks for his work ethic and initiative.

"Josh is very polite and considerate to others and works well with other classmates," said ATC automotive instructor Mitchell McNutt. "He demonstrates good mechanical knowledge and the ability to repair and replace faulty parts."

After graduating from CCHS in May, Darnell plans to continue his work as a full-time mechanic. 

In his free time, Darnell enjoys motocross and mountain biking. He is the son of Christie Fryer of Murray.
